What started out as a small collection of ponies, has grown into a family of equine and human (and a few feline) members.
The Ranger Base is a community-based Equestrian Centre situated at REEA, the Rand Epileptic Employment Agency.
The Rangers work with several community and municipal organisations, such as City Parks, JMPD, Joburg Water, Rand Water, HIV/Aids NGOs, schools and local Residents’ Associations.
Established several years ago, with just two horses, today the Ranger Base owns 22 horses and ponies. They serve the community through daily patrols along the Braamfontein Spruit, monitoring ecological, social and security conditions.
The Rangers’ equestrian activities include instruction, outrides, pony parties, pony rides, disabled riding and providing assistance at events as such market days.
Although it is a small community of riders, we are a family that is dedicated to helping touch peoples lives and show them just how wonderful and beneficial interacting with these animals can be.
